The house lights went on in the theater.

he didn't make me laugh anymore.

LittleJill / April 27, 2010 9:48 AM

After 10 years of friendship, she stole $950 from me. But in hindsight, $950 was a bargain to get her out of my life for good.

KT / April 27, 2010 10:24 AM

My manager wouldn't make eye contact with me.

He became the cause of my cigarette breaks.

SallySue / April 27, 2010 11:06 AM

When, after nearly 20 years together, he offhandedly said he didn't think I was "the one." And I realized he wasn't, either.

When there was no more sidewalk.

When I found myself in the fetal position on a hotel bathroom floor between the toilet and the wall, that was it.

Mucky Fingers / April 27, 2010 12:53 PM

When I was leaving her house and he was parking his car in front of it.

Euripedes Trousers / April 27, 2010 2:12 PM

Becase of the ".".

Euripedes Trousers / April 27, 2010 2:13 PM

Because of the bad spelling.

Baldeesh / April 27, 2010 3:03 PM

He yawned like Buster Bluth (without the extreme stretching) while I was going down on him.

Leelah / April 27, 2010 8:39 PM

He started a fight with me because I didn't like cilantro.

Carlotta / April 27, 2010 10:44 PM

He kept on squawking "Pipe down!" as I whooped it up for the Steelers in Super Bowl XL at a friend's house.

jlp / April 28, 2010 1:13 AM

when he couldn't be arsed to flirt with me/show any appreciation after I had been gone for three months.

The little man in the top hat came back on stage and yelled at everybody to go home, and that no, Rancid would NOT be playing an encore.

annie / April 28, 2010 11:31 AM

When I moved out and didn't look back! I knew it was the end way before that, but I had to get my ducks in order first.

holden / April 28, 2010 12:46 PM

when she started smoking again...

when the principal said, "i need to talk to you in my office"...

when the bell rings at 2:45 on 6/10...

daruma / April 28, 2010 1:53 PM

When she said broccoli didn't go with steak. wtf?

Ramsin / April 28, 2010 2:01 PM

Damn Baldeesh.

I'll say, "When I used the Adam & Eve story as an example of something everybody knows is made up, and she said, 'How do you know?'"

PMan / April 28, 2010 9:05 PM

When I told her that the doctor diagnosed me with 'a suicide disease' -- i.e., incurable nerve pain, and she didn't respond at all. P.S., I have learned to just about eliminate the pain and do not think about suicide.

Nuke LaLoosh / April 29, 2010 2:41 PM

When Gonzalez bobbled that double-play ball.
